BEANS GLORIOUS BEANS

Companies like Rancho Gordo, Baer's Best Beans and Masienda provide access to a dizzying variety of high quality beans. What makes them better than the bag of black beans on the supermarket shelf? They are fresh! Yes, dry beans have a shelf life. Huge companies have huge silos of beans that may take over a year to make it from the field to your local grocery. By that time they have lost nutrients, flavor and the ability to re-hydrate to the creamy dreamy texture beans can achieve.

Prepare to have your mind blown by this deeply satisfying source of protein and fiber!
